2 eggs plus 1 extra yolk

1 3/4 cups milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

4 Tbsp butter

12 slices of white bread

Preparation

  1. Whisk eggs, yolk, milk, 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp butter. When the bubbles calm down, sprinkle 1 1/2 tsps sugar and melt to caramelize.
